No Work at Church This Week...Here's What's Up
BULLETS FROM THE BUILDING COMMITTEE
••• Thanks to all the volunteers who finished the sheetrock and
helped prepare the space for taping and texturing! Great turnout!
••• Special thanks to Andy Zanto, Mike Hester, Tom Z, Bryan S, and
Tony Ferguson for staying way too late
Wednesday night to finish the sheetrock. Thanks, guys, for the extra effort!
••• Taping and texturing began Thursday and will continue into this week.
••• This week we will NOT
have our normal Tuesday and Wednesday work nights at the church. Please watch your
email or check the eNews on faithalaska.com -- there may be some work off site (or perhaps later in the week).
••• Once taping and texturing is done, the next phase will be
painting. Watch for details on the scheduling of that.
••• Flooring can begin as soon as painting is complete.

A Message from the Culinary Coordinator
I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped with meals for the work nights! It has been a huge blessing to the volunteer workers to be able to have a refueling meal! We have two gracious volunteers to bring meals for this week's work nights and already a volunteer to provide a meal next Tuesday, 9/3/13. Many thanks!!
We will have to work around the mudding/taping/texturing schedule over the next two weeks, so there may be a few nights when we work offsite to cut, paint, and assemble cubbies instead of working in the preschool room. I will update all volunteers bringing meals as to location and any other logistics that may be required. Again, thanks to all for your service! Mary Klebs

Thanks to Many . . . and an Invitation to Others!
From Pastor O.
I wish there were some way we could have kept track of how many people-hours have been invested in this project already; it would be a stunning total, for sure! I am so impressed by all the folks who have given their time, their energy, their brains and ideas and talents and muscle-power to make this new ministry become a reality. Quite a few have been burning the candle at both ends in selfless service to God and to this congregation. I pray that our good Lord will give them further endurance as the work goes on. I pray also that he will move more of our fellow believers to step up and help in any way possible, so that the burden of the work is spread out on more shoulders.
A personal note, from Building Committee Chairman Mike Klebs:
"Our work night volunteer group has been diminishing in size. I know our Lord sure does appreciate all the workers that have been helping over the last couple of weeks to complete the sheet rocking and framing tasks. I can't express enough my appreciation for all of their efforts and showing up each Tuesday and Wednesday night - in some cases on other days too - to get this project as far as it is. We have some work to do yet and I pray that we see some new faces (and the old ones too) that will see this project through to the end.
We are hoping to gain some momentum in the coming weeks. We need your help on the work evenings. In some cases, there may be small tasks that can be done before and after the work evenings during the day. As a congregation we joined together to open a preschool to further our ministry by going and preaching the good news as our Lord commanded. The building committee certainly hopes that you will take a little time to help with this project. We are all serving him together."
Here's the latest:
1. We passed our framing inspection and the next inspection is for sheetrock. The sheetrock work is going well and we will need to complete this prior to the next inspection. We will be working on more sheetrock next week.
2. All other construction trades are complete with their concealed work. The fire alarm system is being commissioned and put onto the new service.
3. The sewer repair is complete. We have to work on repaving the area we dug up. We were hoping to get the water service line stub into the building this year, however, with recent delays, this work may be deferred until spring.
4. Soon - probably in a couple of weeks - the fence will be installed around the new preschool play area. The well within the area will either be decommissioned or some type of bench will be installed over it to protect the children.
5. After the sheetrock is complete, we will hire a company to tape, mud, and texture. After that is complete we will need as many volunteers as possible for painting and finishing. We work Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 6 until 9. Dinner is served. We are hoping to paint the week of the 9th through the 13th of September, maybe sooner.
6. Speaking of dinner - we do still need volunteers to furnish dinner for each of the work nights. Plan for about a dozen volunteers. Coordinate with Mary Klebs on which night(s) you can help. (Next week Wednesday is covered; need someone for Tuesday evening.)

Sheetrock Progress Report
The sheetrock work got off to a good start this week. If anyone is willing & able to put in some time this weekend, please contact Tony F. (or Mike K. or Andy Z.) about it.
Our next scheduled workday is Tuesday of next week. The goal would be to finish any further ceiling sheetrock and a couple existing walls that need 1/2" sheetrock. Framing inspection will then be called in Wednesday and we will sheetrock the final new walls and new ceiling soffits after that inspection. We are a bit behind schedule, so a party willing to move this along over the next few days would be great.
There are also a couple of doors resting in the school hallway that need to be moved into the preschool room or out to the parking lot trailer before school begins on Tuesday the 20th. We would also like to vacuum up the sheetrock dust on the floor in the corridor and install a secondary visqueen barrier at the doorway into the new preschool room from the corridor (as you enter from the school hallway).
There won't be a Building Committee meeting this coming Tuesday. We'll plan instead to begin the sheetrock work around 5:30 PM.
